In WRITING-39616, we had an AI to take into account the majority commit point during an election (see SERVER-135298), but this is not needed for correctness. Instead what we can do is just log if a node runs for election even though it is behind the known majority commit point. This might make it easier for debugging purpose in the future if there is a correctness issue in this area.
Note that a node which is behind the majority commit point should never win an election, if it does, then there is a problem (such as the one discussed in the postmortem).
